PLEASE HELP US TO FIND A SHELTER FOR HER – HELP US SAVE HER LIFE

Writes: Srijana Sharma*

While all of us pass through the streets of Bagdogra, most of us have not noticed an important thing in between. A place near Shiv Mandir, around Jai Maa Tara hotel we can find a lady, a homeless lady without clothes, except for a shawl to hide her body, without food except the food which people give her when they feel bad to see her, without shelter she sleeps in the area nearby.

She is not a beggar but she is badly frustrated, looking at her one can make out that something bad might have happened to her.

We can imagine her condition when I mention “without clothes”, winter is approaching and also she can be prone to some men who are liable to do anything to her.

I usually come Darjeeling once or twice a year, and I stop my vehicle to feed her, when I fed her with my hands, tears roll down her eyes, she longs for care and love, and with your support we can provide her with that.
